Drumdevil.nl referred to the nickname I use the most in games. It was made back in the day… when I still was a fanatic drummer. That doesn’t apply anymore (I still play the drums sometimes), and I go by many more nicknames now.

I also wanted a shorter domain name, and want to keep just one domain name.

I hate it when after a fresh Windows 10 install, OneDrive is installed automatically as well. From time to time it pops up, wanting you to sign in or setup an account. Even when you disabled the automatic startup function.

It is annoying as hell plus I never use it, so I wanted to get rid of it. You can’t remove it the “normal” way, so I made a batch file that does it for you.

And for people regretting the decision of removing it, I made another batch that reinstalls it.

All the game servers I offer and this website are hosted on the same, and heavily customized server.

Most parts are scrapped from other, older servers from work. I selected the best parts from them, bought a separate SuperMicro motherboard so the usable components wouldn’t be limited by vendor and space restrictions.

I tweaked some settings on the server to be a little more accommodating towards players that don’t have all the time in the world to play, yet keeping the game challenging.

These are the tweaks:

– Difficulty changed: NPC’s now spawn with a max level of 60, instead of 36.
– Taming speed increased by 50%.
– Harvesting speed increased by 50%
– Health of resources increased 100%. For example, trees take twice as long to chop down, but give twice the amount of wood/thatch. That means less walking.

I left the XP multiplier unchanged, because the changes above will already give you XP slightly faster.
